Classic verb race involves dividing the class into teams and one person from each team goes up to the board to conjugate faster than everyone else. I’ve included full instructions, tips and rules with this resource. Verb Race has always been a huge favorite in my classroom.
In classic Verb Race it is usually the teacher who moderates the game, but in the instructions I’ll explain in great detail how you can play a student led game so that even your weakest students can participate and learn a ton.
You can easily make a stack of -ER, -IR and -RE verbs using them as separate games until all three sets have been learned at which point you can put them back into one big stack.

J’ai…Qui a… French Antonyms Activity Set 2 - I have…Who has
This game includes 39 cards. Depending on class size you can give each student more than one card or have them play in small groups. I recommend printing out and laminating these cards if possible so that you can use them over and over again.
How it works: Once each student has a card (or cards), the one who has the card that says Je commence le jeu begins the activity. He says, for example, Je commence le jeu. Qui a un antonyme pour gratuit? The person who has the card with J’ai payant on it says, J’ai payant. Qui a un antonyme pour visible? And so the game goes on until the last card is called and that student’s card will say, J’ai _____. Le jeu est terminé!
Another idea is to prepare two sets of cards, divide your class into two groups and let each group have a go to see which team can get through the entire deck of cards the fastest. It’s a very engaging and fun activity!
